LOCAL PICK-UP ONLY

A pair of Klipsch KM2 monitors, a ported, 6" two-way with dome tweeters not horns. Black cabs quite presentable, perfect grilles with badges.

One Klipsch center channel speaker that appears to perfectly match the monitors above. Looks like two 5 1/4 inch woofs with a dome tweet in the middle. Presentable black cab, no problem grille.

One pair Klipsch Tangent 1000 monitors, a ported, 5 1/4" two-way with dome tweets not horns, in presentable black cabs, one tiny flaw in one grille, badges intact.

$100 for the lot.

    Rubbish. Someone should pick these up just to save the forum from further posts on the subject. T. Rome, how dare you!

    Been there. I started out on Fizzies. Then the straws that made your milk either chocolate or strawberry. Tang. A long, slippery slope.

    I went about 40 years and I finally put two and two together that "Tang" is not an orange juice. It is short for Tangerine.

    It's always bare. I know you Jeresy boys like to keep it real "70's" down there, you like your hair.
